For more than 30 years Van Morrison has weathered the eccentricities of the music world, single-mindedly pursuing his art while barely paying lip service to notions such as image, chart profile, and record company hype. From a background rooted in Belfast bands, he rose to acclaim, first with R & B band Them, then as a solo star. Proving ever adept at tackling new styles with integrity, Morrison's varied career has seen him explore rock, jazz, soul, folk, and even classical elements, while never forgetting his Celtic roots. Profiling the artist, poet, and man, this book offers the definitive account of a most singular and talented musician.--From publisher description
